A traditional French dish, coq au vin is a comforting and flavorful meal made with pieces of marinated rooster slowly cooked in red wine with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs. Good news for foodies: you don't have to go to Burgundy, where it originated, to enjoy a good coq au vin; in Paris, too, it can be savored in a happy and convivial atmosphere.
After being seared in butter until golden brown, the beautiful pieces of rooster are then simmered in a red wine marinade for several hours, before mushrooms and sometimes even bacon are added to the recipe for even more flavor. Traditionally, coq au vin is served with potatoes and accompanied by a glass of red wine... from Burgundy, of course!
A hearty and delicious dish, coq au vin is considered an iconic dish of French haute cuisine, served intraditional restaurants and brasseries throughout the capital. Here are our top picks for enjoying a delicious coq au vin at a restaurant in Paris!
